I bet those day games in July in the DSL and the GCL are a real joy to participate in. I need a Gatorade just thinking about it.

Snowden was drafted by the Reds in the 16th round last year out of a high school in Mississippi. He's only 6'1" 150 so he'll need to add some weight but he's pitched very good since signing last June. Last year in the GCL he posted a 3.51 ERA in 25.2 innings with a 5 BB/30 K ratio and so far this year has a 0.90 ERA and 4 BB/16 K ratio in 20 innings. And he's a lefty which is always a plus.

I will be taking in the Chattanooga game via the internet. Been about a week since I have listened to Larry Ward. I am convinced that he is better than a lot of major league announcers.

Chattanooga is facing Huntsville tonight, the Brewers AA affiliate. They are still stocked with a ton of prospects despite losing Matt LaPorta.
